Not that I disagree, but "I spent 5 years helping Google achieve its market dominance and mindshare, was accused of bullying employees, left quietly a few months later, and am now trashing it in the press as part of the marketing process for my next startup" doesn't have quite the clout it could have.
- aabhay 3y agoExactly. Feels like such a blatant PR stunt to advertise (ironically) for his next company
- Freedom5093 3y agoWasn't he was fired or asked to leave from DeepMind, then Google? I interviewed at Inflection (his startup), and my interview with him (final stage, founder interview) was the worst interview I've ever had. He did no small talk, he immediately (and awkwardly) asked a question off his question list. It lasted 15 minutes. I was immediately put off by his questions, wondering if I should just hang up now. His co-founder interview was not as bad, but still asked an awkward question. They definitely want you to work very hard, including sacrificing your personal life. The product itself (Pi, the assistant) doesn't seem to have traction. Has anyone found it useful?
- danpalmer 3y agoI met him, he was an investor in my previous company and I gave him a tour of the product. Very cold, a little disinterested, and remarkably un-insightful for someone in his position. Your summary strikes me as fitting my expectations.
